Got a good one for you. This is Alpharetta, Georgia's former CD siren, which was used from 1945 to 1986. I found it in a February 2000 article in AJC on newspapers.com. Me and some others are guessing it is a Sireno or a Federal. What say ye?

What you have there appears to be a Federal Model AX blast-proof siren.
Actually now that I look at the model ax, the front looks the same but the body of the siren looks different... Any other ideas?
The reason why it looks different is because the bottom of it is very rusty.

The siren up front appears to be a Federal Model D, not an A. An A would have a smaller intake that that, and wouldnt flange out as much. The other two are a more interesting story: They appear to be Benjemin Electric KM-8200's, like the one on eBay below. I have never seen sirens like that in the wild before, and as soon as I saw the shape I knew they were familiar! See one here:

Fire station In Grafton,NY. At first may look like a model 5 without its bottom louver, but the top cap looks different than a model 5. Anyone know?

It could be a modified version or a champion.

Definetley not a champion. They have completely different styled top caps. GCS perhaps?
